June's Yoga workshops enable a sensitive teacher or care-giver with no previous yoga experience to lead babies, nursery or primary school children in a yoga session the very next day.

Care assistants, classroom helpers, parents and teachers actively learn as June Rowlands leads them through age-appropriate postures during the workshop, sharing her insights into the reactions that the children might have to certain poses or movements.

Working from the traditional yoga sequences - warm-up exercises, breathing techniques, Asana (postures), partner Asanas and relaxation and calming exercises, June's Yoga takes the process one step further by adapting the language, props, songs and length of the session to the age of the children involved.

* Nursery and Primary School children respond to child friendly props like puppets and songs written for younger ears.

* Babies react to bite-size sessions of three to four minutes, one to one sessions that encourages eye contact and individual attention as well as circle or group work that uses props like the rainbow cloth or rolling cube. (make this a link to the Starter Kit section)

* Older children enjoy the non-competitive nature of yoga that enables them to re-focus on their own needs. They respond to more sophisticated language and instructions.

The result is a magical combination that works wonders in the classroom.

June's Yoga workshop includes everything that teachers and care-givers need to start practising yoga with their children.

All of the postures, techniques and songs are detailed in a Teacherís Manual and all of the props and materials are included in an age-appropriate Starter Kit.
